Speed Racer Mach V 1:25 Scale Polar Lights Model Kit #POL804 Review

Review and Photos by James Yeager

Speed Racer was a Japanese anime series that found success in the USA as a TV cartoon series in 1967. It originated from a 1958 book and subsequent comic series which progressed into the TV cartoon and then was brought back into the spot light when it was returned as a movie in 2008. The adventures of the main character Gō Mifune (aka Speed Racer) and his mechanic Sparky were a clever adaption of the swagger of Elvis Presley and the gadgetry of James Bond. This made it especially popular with young boys and girls. Using his wits and driving skill he always wins one for the good guys. Who could resist that!

For the Modeler: This is the Speed Racer Mach V 1:25 Scale Polar Lights Model Kit # POL804. Polar Lights offered this kit at first as a snap together kit and now they have released a glue together kit with a detailed engine. It is a skill level 2 kit of 70+ pieces molded in white, chrome, clear, black vinyl tires, black screws and waterslide decals. The kit features super-detailing and includes optional saw blades, ion jacks and an aqua canopy.  The dimensions are; 7 ¼” L X 3 ¼” W X 1 ½” H. This kit has a few options that will change the dimensions such as the saws, 8 ¼” L X 2 ¼” W X 1 ½” H, and with the extended ion jacks, 7 ¼” L X 2 ¼” W X 3” H.
